Cathedral de Saint Etienne

 

This morning we went for a tour of the Cathedral of Saint Étienne- back view
Tower view

We had to wait to go in because there was a funeral of a well known farmer of the area. It felt strange to still be able to tour while the funeral service was going on.      Main aisle
Side aisle

Astrological clock

Baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist

Many beautiful stained glass windows



Fleur de lis

We took a separate tour of the Gothic crypt.

Relics





The tomb of John, Duke of Berry


Outside the front of the cathedral are 5 portals
This is the main one. The sculpture work is amazing.
The weight scale of justice.

The pelican on the tower


Afterwards we went for lunch.
